Dave S.

Business Owner

I began playing guitar in 1986 and have enjoyed it ever since. I earned music degree from Chico State University with an emphasis on Classical Guitar, Voice and Composition. I have written, recorded and performed many styles of music including Classical, Rock, Jazz, Blues, Folk and Bluegrass. My current music program and practice is at the Live Musician’s Coop in Santa Rosa where I have been very successful in teaching, directing and recording both private students and student bands.

I Love music — writing it, playing it, and most of all teaching it. My primary instruments are Guitar, Piano, Vocals, and Ukulele. My favorite part of teaching is figuring out ways of communicating musical ideas and then watching my students get better. Helping them succeed is awesome. My overall philosophy in teaching is to start with the music the students want to learn (so they enjoy the experience), and then help them develop a higher standard within themselves of how that music is played.
